WELCOME!

My name is
Dr. Lauren Necesario Smith
pronouns: she/her

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and I'm passionate about helping individuals learn how to bring more awareness to the challenging, unhelpful, unkind, and sometimes unreasonable thoughts they may have about themselves.

At times throughout life, we may notice that these thoughts can lead to feelings of self-doubt, low self-worth, or poor self-esteem. They can even make us more vulnerable to developing depression or anxiety.

I will invite you to finds ways to challenge these negative thoughts so that you can make room for healing. And if you're open to it, I'll teach you different strategies to help you cope with your depression, anxiety, or pain so that you might be able to find a better quality of life and be more compassionate, forgiving, and kind to YOURSELF!
